Getting Started Quickly

The PSC portable comes with an application named PALPRO loaded in memory. PALPRO includes three useful data-collection programs for using the PT2000 or TopGun without additional programming.

Follow the steps below to begin using the portable with PALPRO immediately. Page references show where to find more information. They are live links in the PDF (on-line portable document format) version of this manual.

1.Fill out and return the registration card enclosed with the unit. If there is a TopGun module, be sure to include both serial numbers on the registration card.

2.To replace the installed alkaline batteries with a nickel-cadmium battery pack, refer to Appendix E on page 115.

3.With a PT2000, attach a bar code scanner or magnetic stripe reader by pushing its plug into the jack at the top of the PT2000. Be sure the plug is firmly in place.

4.Turn the portable on by pressing the green I/O button.

Note: If the portable has been customized, it may operate differently. Check with a systems administrator for instructions.

5.Press the ENTER key twice to accept the current date and time, or if necessary, change the date and time settings. (Refer to page 19.)

6.Enter a password. (Refer to page 20.)

7.Press any function key to display the PALPRO Options menu.

8.To use the portable as a keyboard wedge, connect it to a PC or terminal following the instructions on page 21.
